How to fix "Error loading tumbnails"
Hello. Ever since I've installed immich, I have been getting a mixup of loaded and unloaded thumbnails. How can I load all of the thumbnails on the client? (Using external source on Synology Docker)

are there any active jobs in http://nas_ip_address:2283/admin/jobs-status
docker-compose.yml
Where to check in synology nas?
what do you mean? replace the
nas_ip_address
with your nas IP. guess the link should point at port 8212 instead of 2283 thoughML does not need access to the original file mount points
would recommend testing running all root containers, since the permissions of the external library could be causing issues
it's very likely this is some kind of permissions issue. you should check the logs
the ting is, I do get some thumbnails
Where did you even get this compose, so many things different from stock

How to Install Immich on Your Synology NAS
Trustworthy expert guide to your Synology NAS.
is this a new install?
Someone should tag Marius about all this 😛
I did
And yeah, it's an new install
how long ago? If you want I can give you a config that works, but it might be a new setup
Yesterday
But I think the setup code will work the same
which nas do you have, and how much ram is installed?
I want a counter how many installs that guide already manged to f up :monakS:
Synology DS 224+
how much ram?
6 GB
ok, if you want to leverage quicker ML tasks you need more ram. I'll provide you a config that will work with what you have though
Are volumes you want mounted?
also, do you care if we ignore the old install and just move to a new install based on the official immich installation?
Yes, I do
Was getting g problems with mou lnti g a directory that had spaces inside of it
It was.
yes that would make sense based on the way that you were referencing them. Then again, I'm not sure this installation is broken if you just installed it yesterday. If you go to the immich url and click
administration -> jobs
i'd image that you're still processing the thumbnail task
I'd still suggest changing your compose to something that's more inline with the official docs, but that's your callEither I can clear the cache
what cache are you referring to?
the thumbnail cache
you can, but I'd look at the job to see where it's at. Perhaps it hasn't finished creating thumbnails
I found out a way to fix it
Use the reload thumbnail option
